L.A. Readers! Wanna Help Will Ferrell Break A Guinness World Record?

To help raise awareness for the November 5th theatrical release of the animated supervillain comedy MEGAMIND, DreamWorks Animation and Will Ferrell have decided to take a crack at the Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of superheroes. And if you're going to be in the L.A. area on Saturday October 2nd, they'd love for you to don some spandex, throw on a mask, and join them in making history.
The record attempt will officially take place downtown at L.A. Live at 10 AM, so you should probably plan on arriving a half-hour early or so to stake out a spot amid this odd agglomeration of costumed goofballs. According to the below press release, you'll need to "arrive dressed as an easily recognisable superhero that has appeared in a published book, comic, television program or film." To break the record, Ferrell will need to be surrounded by over 1,501 participants - because, evidently, there was once a Guinness certified gathering of 1,500 superheroes.
For those interested, here are the details...

WHO: Will Ferrell (aka Megamind), DreamWorks Animation and Guinness World Records
WHAT: Join Will Ferrell and 1,500 of his closest costumed superhero friends as they attempt to make heroic history and claim the Guinness World Records title for the Largest Gathering of Superheroes. The Mega-event hosted by DreamWorks Animation is open to all caped crusaders wishing to join the fun.
To qualify for the record attempt, all interested participants must arrive dressed as an easily recognisable superhero that has appeared in a published book, comic, television program or film, as stipulated by the record guidelines. The feat will be judged by official Guinness World Records Adjudicator and Spokesperson, Stuart Claxton and will require a minimum of 1,501 superheroes to break the current world record.
The world record attempt will mark the kickoff of MegaMonth, an official month dedicated to Mega-events across the country in celebration of the release of MEGAMIND on November 5th.

...a ceremonial beagle would be brought from the finest kennel in the land. It would be placed in the center of the battlefield, and would be deathly silent, as if sensing the coming bloodshed. And much like today's mythical groundhog, when they looked to the beagle for the ominous moment and the beginning of war. <p> Didn't you guys go to college?

...they used to use a ceremonial toad. But those damn toads wouldn't shut up, and they would be ribbiting before the royal animal handler even had a chance to place it down in the battlefield. As a result, the animal handlers were always the first ones slaughtered, and no one sought out that job anymore. Henceforth, they began using a beagle, noted for its auspicious timing and beautiful yelping.

Because 60's and 70's rock is far superior to anything that came after it. Even the original rock and roll of the 50's was pretty damn awesome...Elvis, Little Richard, Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis, etc.

But not all metal is bad. Iron Maiden's a cool band (great vocalist), as is Megadeth. Early Ozzy with Rhandy Rhoads is nasty. Judas Priest's early stuff was great but I suppose that's more rock than metal, but shit, tons of rock bands had early signs of metal, and they kicked ass - Purple, Sabbath, Thin Lizzy, Rainbow, Rush, Blue Cheer, etc.

I mean frankly, while some metal can be awful and migraine inducing, none of it is worse then the shit that passes for "rock" music today. It's a fucking travesty.

I don't want to sound like a douche, but I need to defend myself. I love Hard Rock and Metal but I'm only 29, still have a head full of hair, a six pack and this week only I probably bang more girls than you in your life time.

forget the "authorized' costume crap. I want to go as Golden Age Sandman (gas mask, gas gun) or as Dr. Fate. Our son will have a costume more familiar, but still not too obvious like some store-bought wear.
